He wears a high-feathered hat of hussar type, with tasselled bags, broad sword-belt studded with gold, sword, wrinkled boots. He has a broad whisker and small moustache."--British Museum online catalogue

"Soldiers in double file march (left to right) in a Paris street diagonally across the design. They are led by a fat debauched-looking monk who leers at a nun by his side; both carry drawn sabres. A fiddler capers in front of the pair. Next is a drummer; the soldiers are correctly dressed and carry bayoneted muskets. A man with a long loaf of bread waves his hat frantically. In the foreground (left) is a shoeblack who, gazing at the monk and nun, applies his brush to the stocking of his enraged customer. Other spectators are a lawyer, an officer arm-in-arm with a coquettish girl. On the extreme right a 'limonadier', his vessel strapped to his back, turns its tap into the glass of a dwarfish boy or man. The lower part of buildings abutting on the street forms a background: a church wedged between a house (left) and a barber's shop (right) indicated by wigs and implements painted on the shutter, &c."--British Museum online catalogue

"A satire on the fashionable lectures at the Royal Institution. The audience are in a semicircle facing the lecturer's table, which is covered with apparatus. The lecturer, probably not Garnett but Thomas Young who succeeded him as Professor of Natural Philosophy at the Institute in July 1801, and who delivered thirty lectures there between January and May 1802, is experimenting on Sir J. C. Hippisley (left). Holding him by the nose, he applies to his mouth a tube from a series of retorts in which a gas has been made. The result is a violent explosion of flame and smoke from the victim's breeches. Next Young stands Humphry Davy, assistant lecturer to the Institute since July 1801. Holding a pair of bellows with vapour and gas spouting from its nozzle, he watches the experiment with a sardonic smile. Facing the table from the right, Count Rumford (see British Museum Satires No. 9565) stands a little apart from the audience, looking on with a complacent and proprietary smile; he wears an order. On the extreme right the audience are Isaac D 'Israeli, wearing spectacles over half-closed eyes, Lord Gower, watching impassively, and Lord Stanhope, looking intently through an eyeglass. Beside him on the padded green bench is an open book: 'Hints on the nature of Air requir'd for the new French Diving Boat.' (Fulton's submarine was tried in Brest harbour in 1801, and a small vessel was blown up by a torpedo; Stanhope's experiments with steam navigation had been unsucces-ful, cf. British Museum Satires No. 8640.) Two unidentified ladies watch open-eyed. Immediately in front of Stanhope sits Lord Pomfret, enormously stout, his eyes almost shut. These watch from the right. Facing the lecturer sit (right to left) Sir H. Englefield, holding note-book and pencil, and a thin and elderly lady turned in profile, taking notes earnestly, but not watching the experiment. ..."--British Museum online catalogue

"A young man driving (right to left) one of the new high two-wheeled gigs, see British Museum Satires Nos. 5933, 6143. Its small body is poised high on springs above the large wheels; the driver leans forward to whip his pair of high-stepping horses, which are about to descend a precipitous hill. He wears the plain high-crowned hat which was so great a novelty in 1781 (see British Museum Satires No. 5931, &c.) and top-boots. On the panel of the gig is a draped escutcheon with monogram or cipher. In the foreground are bushes and rough ground with a milestone, "Miles XXI"."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
